What they say...

“What is poverty?...For the past 4 years we have had the lack of power, no fridge and no washing machine. AM I IN POVERTY? Many would say I am although I’ve seen many worse off.”

“We need to protect our future generation…. their lives are physically, emotionally and mentally damaged by poverty.”

Bessie, Paeroa
